Photos: Tractor-Trailer slams into parked cars

Interstate 81 in Franklin County was shut down Tuesday afternoon after a tractor trailer crashed into two cars, injuring two people, and then the driver of the truck ran away.

State troopers said they found the driver, Ricky Hatfield, 41, at a Cebco Gas Station about three miles from the crash. Troopers say he was in the bathroom hiding. They also say he was injured.

Hatfield is charged with two counts of aggravated assault while DUI and other charges for leaving the scene of a serious crash, according to state police.

State police said the 2001 Volvo truck tractor that Hatfield was driving swerved onto the interstate shoulder where two cars were already disabled. After hitting the vehicles, the truck overturned.

The two drivers of the parked cars were seriously hurt and had to be airlifted to York Hospital. I-81 was shut down in both directions as troopers investigated. Southbound lanes opened about two hours later.
